Transforming the Mind
A Commenary on the Eight Verses
Ven. Steve Carlier

In this talk by Ven. Steve Carlier, we are offered a glimpse on how to apply the mind transformation techniques outlined in the Eight Verses into our daily life. Focusing on developing loving kindness and compassion, these very succint and powerful verses offer an alternative approach to develop happiness, our own as well as others.

This mind training (lojong) text goes back over 800 years following the introduction of the Kadampa School by Atisha when Geshe Langri Tangpa set down these extremely profound teachings in brief form. Ven. Steve offers us insight into the development of loving kindness, compassion, caring and commitment.
